About this event
5G is the fifth-generation wireless cellular technology standard, and quite unlike previous generations, unlocks the potential of groundbreaking technologies that are set to transform human life in all of its aspects including AI, IoT, virtualisation and augmented reality. The 5G / 6G journey will generate revenues measured in the trillions and data volumes measured in hundreds of zettabytes. This programme will provide a snapshot of these enabling technologies and their various use-cases, and how both Space and Earth based wireless communications technologies will hyperconverge to provide ubiquitous connectivity in a new age of service delivery, promising availability anytime, anywhere... and to anyone.
